Nice co-workers, encouraging middle management with limited empowerment

Cons

Low pay, Stone Age thinking management, hyper stressful environment, slow progression, no structure training set up for a MNC, unreasonable demands from management interns of targets, a lot of the sales managers are work bullies that only wants to take credits but pushes all the blames to the frontline.
